You need to list your contact information on your eBook Website. Unfortunately, Spammers send robots to gather this kind of information. Then, the addresses that you post attract unlimited amounts of worse than useless messages.

What can you do?

You want readers to build trust you. This means providing lots of contact information so that they know that you are a real person. Real contact information adds to your credibility.

This contact information could include E-mail addresses, Customer Support E-mail addresses, personal telephone number, Customer Support, Sales E-mail address, Sales telephone number, office street address, business Post Office Box, etc.

Of course, this openness and transparency leads to floods of Spam, mounds of Junk Snail-Mail, and the din of Telemarketing calls.

And while you are getting the insistent telemarketer of the phone, your real customer gives up because of the "busy signal" and calls your competitor for immediate service…and a long-term, lucrative (for your competitor) relationship.

So, you are torn between the need to post lots of contact information for your eBook business, and to save yourself from Spam and hounding telemarketer harassment.

Several Contact Self-Protection Strategies

One method is to avoid posting contact information. Instead, you create a contact form, often safeguarded by a Captcha. (Note: a Captcha is a graphic challenge that stops the form-filling process unless the correct letters are typed.

This may be great for stopping Spam, but it also cuts down on your credibility. Your desire to communicate that you are customer-centered and accessible is shot down, too.

So, how do you post E-mail addresses, and telephone numbers without opening up the "Spam Gates" and "telemarketing sewers?"

Here are a few tricks:

List the E-mail address in a different form…

Examples for "sales:"

E-mail

sales at ebookprofitspiral dot com

sales at ebookprofitspiral .com

sales @ ebook profit spiral dot com

sales(at)ebookprofitspiral(dot)com

sales (at) ebookprofitspiral (dot) com
Etc.

Telephone

call 555-1234 at area code 555

5555551234

When you understand the strategies for posting your eBook business contact information on your Website, you can probably come up with creative solutions on your own.

Good luck.
